Am I alone in my view of the dark?

Does discernment not pay a huge part in communication?

Not in my thinking Cyan.

Discernment is done by the individual regarding what was communicated to them. Discernment can be a group effort, but that is not the point I am making in this case.

Then we will have to politely agree to disagree.

I will acknowledge just in case that is what you are meaning, that discernment does play a vital role in the accuracy of the information being communicated.

But communication alone does not requi8re discerning parties, it simply requires connection of interaction, whether discerned information is shared or not..

Let me just say first of all that I think this is a great thread and I thank all the participants.



As a final note, Shin'Ar, the existence of time-space is why I take linguistic issue with your statement that "The All" could look back and generate an opinion about its past. The All, to my mind, is visible only in time-space. Time-space as a whole couldn't possibly have an opinion about the past, since the past doesn't exist there, and also since it isn't a sentient being with faculties of judgment, no matter how advanced.

I think when you construe The All to be a judging mind with faculties of recollection, you would be better off referring instead to a vast and powerful logos of some sort. I just think The All can't possibly have preference for the stated reasons.

I think what you are calling The All is actually your perception of what many here refer to as the Void.

Is that correct?

otherwise, The All contains everything that exists at this moment of the process of being, including the memory of all experiences. The All is most certainly intelligent and an evolving aspect of Infinite Intelligence.

It is the very fact that this Intelligence evolves as it experiences, that obligates the fragments to seek higher understanding and Light rather than darkness.
